  Speaker 6: Thank you, gracious me, Mr.

  Speaker 2: Dillon.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Don't look like he'd sober.

  Speaker 5: Know who he is, Mr.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Dillon?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think I've ever seen him before. He

• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I ain't sure he'll ever remember it, the.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Way he looks. Well, we'll give him time to recollect.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, Chester. Let's go get some breakfast.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Ah, you sure did a good job there, Doc.
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: That's a beautiful little.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Girl of Molly's.
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, I can't take much credit for that, Kitty.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: No, but you didn't hurt her any bringing her into
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: the world.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: And I tell you, Kitty, if every woman was as
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: sensible about having children as Molly is, a lot of
• 3:27
  Speaker 9: doctors would be out of work.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, she's had a lot of practice.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: I'll say that for her.
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: Well, that brood of kids running around, she doesn't have
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: much time to fuss about having another one, I guess.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Well, anyway, it was good to.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: See you again.
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: She never has time to come into town anymore.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: She thinks not.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: And I don't have much time to get out of town.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Even the dry prairie looks good to me.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: Look there. It's lying in the road.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: I see it, Kitty. Come on. It's a woman.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: How is she, Doc? Is she alive?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, great Scott.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: Doc, what is it?
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: Well, she's got a baby, Kitty. She was almost lying
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: on top of a baby.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: A baby?
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: That's what I said, a baby.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Here it is.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: Here, Kitty, hold it. Sure, Doc.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I want to get that woman into town.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Just as fast as I can.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Can I help you move her?
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I'll make it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Poor thing, she's just skin and bones.
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: Here now, Kitty, see if you can support her head
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: a little bit, will you? Hold her baby in your
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: other arm.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, Doc.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: There.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Is this all right?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's fine, yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: All right, now.
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: We'll go.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: That.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: Yes, Kitty? Did you call this her baby?
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: Sure I did. She was holding it so close she.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Was nearly smothering it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: I don't think the baby is hers.
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: Oh, what kind of foolishness is that? She's a white woman,
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: isn't she? Well, you can see for yourself she's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: white woman.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I just got a good look.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: At the baby's face. It's an Indian baby, Doc. Indian? Here,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: let me have a look at it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Kitty, I believe you're right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Well, sure I'm right.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Well, no matter.
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: We'd best get the both of them back to town.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: So come on, come on. Oh, there you are, Matt.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Where did you expect me to be?
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I never expect to find you in your.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Office, I'll tell you that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That nice buggy ride out in the country with Kitty
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: didn't improve your disposition much, did it?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Nice buggy ride.
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: I made three calls, chopped a load of wood for
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: Lady Thomas, and brought her up a patient in the town.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: All right, Doc, all right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to insult you with the idea of
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: having a good time.
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, Matt, it might be a
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: good idea for you to talk to the patient I
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: brought in.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Has he been shot? It's a woman. All right, then.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Has she been shot?
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: No, but she's in bad shape from exhaustion and exposure.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And she has a baby with her.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that sounds more on your line than mine. I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: not so sure, Matt. You see, she's a white woman.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But the baby is Indian. Those things happen sometimes, don't they?
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: Of course they happen. If you'll just listen to me,
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you why I think this is different.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: All right, Doug.
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: I don't think the baby's hers. I think she kidnapped him.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Kidnapped?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe I better have a talk with her.
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: But please go easy with the matter. Whatever she's been
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: through has been very hard on her.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to see her or not? I
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: want you to see her.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: Come on.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: All right, Matt. You can talk to her. Looks like
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: she's asleep, Doc. I don't think so. Go ahead and try.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: All right. Ma'am.
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: Ma'am.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I'd like to talk to you, ma'am. And the marshal.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It's about the baby. My baby.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: My baby.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: That's what I'd like to know about, ma'am. The baby.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: Where is he? Give him to me?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It's all right. It's all right. He's right here.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: Oh. No.
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: They took him. They killed my baby.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Who killed him, ma'am?
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: A savage. A savage Indian. Joe. Joe.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Joe. Joe. Doc, you know who Joe is? I think
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: he must be her husband. The way she keeps calling
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: his name.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Ma'am, where is your husband?
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: Joe. Joe.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Where is he, Joe?
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: Ran off. Joe ran off.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Baby.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: My baby. Give him to me.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: This isn't your baby, is it, ma'am?
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: They killed my baby.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I know, but this baby... Where did you get this baby?
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: A woman needs a baby. Give him to me.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give him to her, ma'am. Make quiet.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And bring her out of this.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: All right, Doc.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: There you are. You just hold him there.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Quiet and gentle.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Baby.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: Baby.
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: Ma'am.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: He's an Indian, baby.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: They took my baby.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So you took this one?
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: Baby.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: Baby.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Joe.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Joe. I guess there's no use talking to her anymore, Matt.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe later.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: All right, Doc.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll know more about it later myself.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: It's all right with me, Mr.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Dunn, riding way out here and all that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that, Chester.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: But it don't seem to me that you can be
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: sure of getting anywhere.
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: Just pick it out of any little old bunch of
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: Indians and ask them about one little old baby. Like
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: that needle in a haystack the fellow was telling me about.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: No, sir, it just don't figure to prove out.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It won't prove out if we don't start somewhere, either.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, I guess you're right, but I.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Do me a favor, will you, Chester?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Well, sure I will, Mr. Dillon.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: I'd be proud to.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Just keep your doubts to yourself until I get through here,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: will you?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Sure, I sure will. All right. We'll leave the horses here.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Chester.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Don't look like there's nobody.
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: Here but just the squaws and kids.
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Then they're probably off hunting. I reckon so.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's one, Mr.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Dump.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: There's a brave.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's old Hawkwing. You stay here, Chester. I'll go
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: talk to him.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: All right, Chester.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I've come to talk, Hawkwing.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It is well.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Sounds like you want to talk to me, too.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It is well the marshal come before the young men
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: return from hunting.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: All right, Hawkwing, you tell me what's on your mind first.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: The marshal knows. It's a baby.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. But there are two babies, Hawkwing. A baby is
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: missing from the lodgers. When the young men come back,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: there will be trouble. I want to talk about a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: white baby. The white baby is dead. It is said
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that your people took the white baby.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: That your people killed it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That's not true. But you know the white baby is dead.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: My people buried white baby.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Tell me what happened, Harkling.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Baby lay dead of fever in arms of mother. My
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: people buried baby. The women brought the mother to the lodgers.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: What happened to the mother? The marshal asked that question...
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: You tell me, Hawkwing. Mother walked out into the night.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: She took baby of my people. You know this to
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: be true? I know this to be true.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: All right, Hawkwing. I was afraid it might be.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It would be well if baby come back before young
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: men return.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I think you may be right about that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Well, sure, she's better, Matt.
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: I had her moved here to Ma Smalley's so she
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: could be quiet for a while. I found out her
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: name's Dory.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe she'll talk to me this time.
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: She's able to, that's all I can say. Whether she
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: will or not.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Well, let's go in and see.
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: Ma put her in a room It's me, Dory.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Doc Adams. I brought the Marshal.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: He'd like to talk to you. I.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see him. It won't take long, Dory.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It's important.
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: Please.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Go away.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I can't, Dory. I've got to talk to you about
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: the baby.
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: My baby.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Well, that's just it. I'm afraid he isn't yours.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: I'll care for him, Marshal.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure you would, Dory, but he still isn't yours,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: is he?
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: A mother has a right to a baby.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: An Indian mother has a right to a baby, too.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: But they took my baby, Marshal. They killed my baby.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Your baby was sick, Dory. Isn't that so? Your baby died.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: They buried my baby. The savages buried my baby.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: The Indian women were traumatized. He's dead, Dory. You really
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: know that, don't you? Don't you, Dory?
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: Doc?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Dory.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: It'll be better if you face up to it. I.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: I guess I know it, Marshal. But the fever and all.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know you've been sick. And that may save
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: your life.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: What do you mean?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: The Indians may be willing to let it go at that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: When they get their baby back.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: A baby?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You'll have to give him back, Dory.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Maybe they won't know, Marshal. They've got lots of babies.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Maybe they won't care.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They know.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: They care.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: We'll have to give him back.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: But, Marshal... Listen to.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Me, Dory.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry for you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But I'm not so sorry for you that I'll risk
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: an Indian uprising. The baby has to go back. Or
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: your life won't be safe. Lots of lives won't be safe.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Doc?
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: He's right, Dory.
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: Do what he says.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: Can I have him just tonight, Marshal? And you take
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: him in the morning?
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I guess that's all right, Dory.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: It's too late to get out there tonight anyway.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: But I'll have to take him the first thing in
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: All right, Marshal. First thing in the morning.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Here's your coffee.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Don't seem none too hot.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: You're about as ungrateful of a prisoner as I've ever been.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Of course, it is a mite early, but the marshal, me,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: has to ride out the Indian camp.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: You going to let me out?
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: Maybe you will at that. He's got an awful lot
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: on his mind over that woman and her baby.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I've been locked up long enough.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: What woman are you talking about?
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: Why, that woman that took a baby from the Indians,
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: walked right out of.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Their camp with it, nice as you please.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Who is she? I don't know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: Some woman the Indians found way out west of town somewhere.
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: Seems her baby got killed or something, and she went
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: and kidnapped herself an Indian baby.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: What's her name?
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I ain't never heard her name.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Look, you better turn me loose right now.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: Well, what? You listen here.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Marshall!
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Marshall!
• 18:50

  Speaker 3: Take it easy.

  Speaker 9: Well, they got her tied up.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Dad.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Take your hands off me. Is he unconscious, Mr. Dillon?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: He's lucky he isn't dead.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: You are brave men to come here now, Marshal. I've
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: come to ask that your people be merciful. I've come
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: for the woman. It is not decided about the woman.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: She's seen much trouble, Hawkwing. She took baby from my people.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: The woman was sick with fever, Hawkwing. There was an
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: evil spirit with her. My people had not harmed her,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: yet she took baby. The baby is back. The baby
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: is unharmed. Let her go, Hawkwing. I have told you
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: it is not decided about the woman. That man you
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: struck down, who is he? He is the white woman's husband.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: When she was found, the white woman and baby, there
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: was no husband. It is as I said, Hawkwing, she
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: was sick with fever. The husband had gone for help.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: She needs help now. Her husband cannot help her now. No, Hawkwing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Your people are the only ones who can help her now.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Dillon, that Indian woman with the baby, she's coming up here.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Keep quiet, Chester.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: I am the mother, Hawkwing. Let me speak.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Little Bird has suffered. I know. And I'm sorry.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: But White Mother has suffered more. My baby is back
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: with me. He shows good care. Her baby will never
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: come back.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: What are you saying, Little Bird?
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: I wish White Mother go free.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: You do not wish that she be punished?
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: She has been punished enough.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Ah, come then. We will tell the council.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: You think they will set her free, Mr. Dillon?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I think they will, Chester. Indians think pretty straight. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: have an idea that Dory and Joe will be able
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to start.
• 24:58
